the u.n. security council has strongly condemned north korea's third most powerful nuclear test threatening more sanctions against pyongyang we get a live expert opinion on this very shortly on r.t. . iran may allow access to a military complex which is the suspected side of nuclear experiments that's ahead of another round of talks with the u.n. atomic watchdog. and a black bloc rising egypt's opposition becomes increasingly radical with a movement to try to support r.t. is granted exclusive access to members of the secretive group.

live from our new center here in moscow this is r.t. with the on line on the screen twenty four hours a day. the u.n. security council has issued a stern rebuke to north korea over its third nuclear test as it held an emergency meeting in response to the test which was in defiance of international regulations it says it plans to beef up the sanctions already in place for the country's previous atomic exercises. as more. well the u.n. security council unanimously condemned north korea's latest nuclear test there called it a defiant act and a clear threat to international peace and security her statement approved at an emergency meeting hours after pyongyang's latest underground test called the atomic blast a grave violation of three un resolutions of banning north korea from conducting nuclear or missile tests now the council also pledged further action calling

peelings latest defiant a clear threat to international peace the security council also strengthen sanctions in response to this missile test back in december and they promised the council members promised to take significant action in the event of this new nuclear test now while there was a unanimous unanimous sentiment within the security council in the midst of this emergency meeting some members like china and russia said that the international community should tread carefully russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said that no country in the international community should not jump to quick conclusions or actions but i would like to stress that north korea's nuclear test deserves condemnations we hold the will not be used as a pretext to build up a military presence around the korean peninsula we believe that flexing military muscles in the region is extremely dangerous now u.s. president barack obama also warned that both tuesday's tests and earlier satellite

launches are provocations according to the u.s. president and he threatened further swift and credible action against pyongyang u.n. chief foreign ki-moon also condemned the nuclear test calling it deplorable the test was also criticized by many others including britain japan france the e.u. the i needa north korean diplomat john young wrong also told the u.n. disarmament forum in geneva recently that his country quote will never bow down to any. resolution and that was in response to criticism that the awnings nuclear test violated several u.n. security resolution now pyongyang has also threatened that if the u.s. response to that test with hostility then unspecified quote second and third measures may follow it seems as though if you just based on the patterns that are taking place that north korea is not backing down despite any threat of resolutions

or sanctions then important there with the latest from the u.n. security council's reaction to north korea's nuclear test and we got a live timeline to keep you up to date on all the latest reactions and developments on that issue at r.t. dot com. for more reaction on north korea's latest nuclear test some now joined by war correspondent and columnist eric margolis who knows the region very well eric looks like the sanctions didn't seem to frighten pyongyang all for on this occasion will anything change now no i don't think so the north koreans are very tough they're very determined and they've got a one point one million armed forces which is very sinister and they're not going to be anybody at this point and nobody is going to take any military. they know. what's going on now it's not a recent crisis is minister and. we need diplomacy

in this issue not more empty threats obama talk about swift incredible response is needed the u.n. has promised to beef up sanctions but you're saying negotiations but it seems that nothing seems to deter. well young un feels it's under siege and i'm no fan of north korea but we have to understand what they're thinking as they feel that there is south korea intends to engulf them take them over with its huge economy of power that the united states has threatened overthrow the north korean regime from finance and so they're under pressure we'll also look at this in the context that intercompany and rivalry in the south the north koreans constantly are playing tit for tat against each other to see who can have the bigger stick or the bigger taller fly over the higher building and in this case the north koreans have shamed the south koreans but coming out with their third nuclear test where south

korea was the bell. but a decade ago but was caught by the u.s. wants to know where the south korean program now the north koreans are saying they're the real of the koreans and the end of the korean peninsula where does this put china how should beijing respond to this after all it did except those sanctions earlier didn't it and it's seen as an ally for north korea but is in a difficult position is it's not really challenging diplomatic position beijing is and i don't think beijing is it is as difficult a position as the western media wishes that it was. the chinese don't like to be seen as the only nation supporting. north korea not well thought of anywhere we're all what i'm dealing in north korea is important to china strategically it's the buffer zone the chinese believe that if north korea and the

regime there would implode collapse like germany and russia. south koreans would move in gobble up north korea and the u.s. forces its forces move close to the chinese. china does not want that is such a no really needs to keep that north korea or she going on. as it is my own guess is that the chinese will. denounce the north koreans but will continue quietly supporting them if china is the main source of oil and food for north korea and i don't think the chinese are going to shut off the taps and see us in north korea put it in perspective for us eric just how serious a threat is this to us and indeed europe we're talking about an anti missile defense shield for example and there's often that talk about a perceived threat from iran and the likes of north korea but could these tests really eventually produce a weapon that could be

a threat to iran in europe you know i think you will eventually the greens will manage miniaturize a nuclear warhead to the point where it can be carried a tough one of their medium or certainly their long range i.c.m. missiles which their development we just saw one put a satellite into orbit so the chinese the north koreans will do but the really the big question is not can they but why would they these programs in south korean defense officials told me it was too i purely defense what why would they and can they i mean can they afford it it's a poor country isn't it oh yeah this is costing them estimates of up to two billion dollars but is that your only books are set in pakistan years ago they were we will get our nuclear weapon even if it means we have to eat grass and that's what north korea still but survival of the regime depends on nuclear weapons just as the iraqis and the libyans above the. north korea wants is national pride

ok just briefly brooke briefly is talk about survival of the regime is it under threat we've got a new man at the helm there but what is going on behind the scenes politically just very briefly there's unrest people are hungry they see real. if south korea and they. would solve is always germany they are afraid the regime will come crashing down so this is one way to shore it up eric really good to talk to you thanks so much for your thoughts on this era my goodness joining us live at. iran said it may allow inspectors from the u.n. nuclear watchdog access to a military complex suspected of hosting atomic research will go to iran has always denied the parchin site is a nuclear facility the i.a.e.a. inspectors will arrive in iran for a new round of talks on wednesday and another move aimed at easing the tension over its nuclear ambitions to iran said it's converting enrich uranium into reactor fuel now that will slow the buildup of material which could potentially be used to make

nuclear weapons matthew mcallester research fellow in nuclear security at queen mary university in london says talks between iran and america are the only solution to halting terrans nuclear ambitions. if the international society and. inspectors are allowed in this is definitely going to be a very good sign from iran to the international society that it has to be mentioned that. this would not be the post i would go into our tents the words if i'm not mistaken three times and i have not found any but there are still concerns raised there and that has not yet replied to questions posed to them but one thing has to be mentioned in order to understand and done by the regime one has to remember that there is no rhetorical. action on. this rhetorical is met by action by the end of this month or any the near future then this is definitely

going to address. one thing many analysts attempt to agree on that is in order to in order to stop them for crimes that during the crisis as there is a need for direct hearing in american talks and this is something that we are not seeing at all. egypt's opposition is turning more radical as protests become increasingly violent and his movement of masked men calling themselves the black bloc is attracting more supporters is threatening is the most authoritative and sparking fears of a possible all out street war bill truce in current tells us about the group which has given r.t. exclusive access. this mysterious group appeared round the second anniversary of the five evolution when they released this statement saying they would fight the missing brotherhood and they would strive for the goals of revolution around about the time we started seeing a young man in black but

a car this according themselves said the black bloc and they were heading up the more minutes and sides of the revolution we saw them making molotov said on my facebook pages they were giving instructions to the street fighting it taking responsibility for a number of the acts of civil disobedience such as stopping public transport and also have said they were responsible for the burning of muslim brotherhood headquarters of some of them this of course has sparked much criticism from the authorities including the missing brotherhood and the t.v. channels the prosecutor general and twenty ninth of january i said they were terrorists agree on that they would be arrested if they were caught red handed our team managed to secure interviews with this members of the secret organization. the black bloc is an idea that came about as a reaction to the negligence of our peaceful demands and also as a reaction against the oppression of the interior ministry which received orders from the regime we stand against the oppressive and tyrant regime we call upon the interior ministry to deliver justice for those who have been killed and we will

continue our demands until they are met our actions are in self-defense we are protecting ourselves but have never attacked anyone we will always be present in egypt even after or demands are met however we will take on a different form the aim behind our presence is to prevent injustice in any form no one listens to our demands and the proof is the number of people who are being killed of course we had so much to mock the stepping down of the ouster of hosni mubarak this of course devolved into clashes by the presidential palace much take us was throwing up protest as he responded with molotov the similar protests occurred around the country down south in the suit and now we have reports including egypt second city in alexandria although the focus of the classes most definitely is most weeks by the presidential palace an indication that the protest is a turning to more violent means to push the regime to fill that in months. still ahead when back to work policies all working cool rules of the british government's

program he's a job dismiss was lawful we discuss what's wrong with the u.k.'s ways of tackling the problem. plus a big speech with little space for some pushing issues for a cabal have to pass to address his nation focusing on the prosperity of the average american leaving out the more controversial issues to get live analysis coming up from the states to the brain. wealthy british style sign some time to. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for

a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report. marty live here in moscow the news continues now british government policies to tackle unemployment are taking a hammering with a court ruling that a planned forced labor program was unlawful and it looks like taxpayers will be

left to foot the bill for mistakes made by m.p.'s first takes a look at the u.k.'s shaking workfare system. university graduate kate riley and forty year old jamison wilson succeeded in their claims that their unpaid work that they were made to take part in was indeed a little for them but it was taking place in the court of appeal today and the argument was that the surrounding issues will legally flawed so they were successful and a small but significant victory now the law is that that ruling say it would mean that thousands of people who had their benefits stripped from the under similar circumstances in this government work program could we claim that money that could leave the door open to millions of pounds compensation that would be footed by the taxpayer of course that's causing a lot of concern that the d.w.p. is saying that they are not going to be coughing up any cash whatsoever in our

teeth done its own investigation into the work program it's been a hugely controversial program a lot of problems in response to what's the government has said that it was ridiculous to suggest that there were any problems with the work program and that it wasn't helping people get back into work but look this is all being quite embarrassing for the government today now speak to us more about this i'm joined by amery o'reilly for the boycott work there program thank you very much for joining us a small victory do you think that far enough because on the surface of it it seems like a big deal and a win the obviously the people involved in that but is this going to be as hard hitting and as far reaching well today's ruling is really significant for us it shows that workfare forced unpaid work in the u.k. isn't just wrong it's also been unlawful so that means every single person who's been sent on these schemes in the last two years was sent on them unlawfully and

the tens of thousands of people who faced really extreme hardship and possible destitution by having their money stopped as a result of not participating may well. be entitled to claim that money back but you're right it doesn't go far enough the still a lot to be done one of this my significant schemes mandatory work activity is still intact and really disturbingly the government threatening to bring emergency regulations through to bring workfare straight back in this when just today the schemes are found illegal when they've been riddled with corruption allegations from the start and the government's own research shows that has no effect on helping people find work you know there are millions of people unemployed here in the cave and of course the imperative is getting them back because work i don't think anyone is the just thing that these people shouldn't be put back to work but i think it's the rhetoric that's surrounding it and indeed the figures as we said are to see their own investigation and the figures just do not add up the percentage of people who are actually getting jobs from this program were

incredibly full of but it was worse than doing nothing a tooth so really the figure is quite shocking but you're right this is a fair assertion and one that was put. there it's hugely controversial loads of criticism about these government work schemes but they all schemes that are in place in the governor's quite right getting people back into jobs are they not unemployment in the u.k. the moment is a huge huge issue but the government nice that these schemes don't work its own research shows they have zero effect on helping people find work possibly worse than doing nothing at all. instead of helping create jobs what they're doing is replacing paid work by handing big business like our gas tesco poundland hundreds of thousands of hours of unpaid work effectively replacing jobs that would exist if the schemes were and place not only that the government is using these schemes to massage the unemployment figures because when people are forced to work without pay on these schemes they can't count them as having a job a very strange definition of having a job with not a single person is receiving

a wage because one graduate who is on that work program certainly a small but significant victory and as a lawyer for that case said today it certainly means that the government now has to go back to the drawing board when it comes to their work schemes. record bomber is preparing for his big primetime speech and his first state of the union address since reelection his main focus will be domestic issues economic recovery gun laws and gratian foreign policy won't be in the spotlight despite controversy over many issues including secretive u.s. drone bombing campaigns well let's now cross live to china graff he's the founder of wide awake news website and joining me live there in the u.s. charlie the speech is expected to address the prosperity of america's middle class why is that so important to a bomber at the moment. well i think you know there's a number of reasons why that the primary reason is we've had all this promise over the last four years that we were going to revive the middle class and we were going

to strengthen it and exactly the opposite has occurred but there's another reason why i believe that they want to get the middle class on board with any future a raising of debt ceilings or. the march deadline for sequester ration is coming up you know this is the governed by crisis tactic that we like to use you know talk about the middle class talk about how we're going to do things for them but it's only going to work if we throw you further and further into debt i think that the i think the suffering middle class is impossible to ignore and i think this is why it's top of the his speech tonight is the middle class really not recognize the fact that is in effect sitting on a time bomb come march. well you know what i think that we're so desensitized to these time bombs as you say you know because every time we have a crisis to govern by crisis moment we have the government rushing in with the solution in every single time it's more and more debt so i think a lot of people here in the united states are sitting back thinking well i don't have to worry about it because they're just going to increase the debt limit and

they're just going to paper over it with a bunch of empty promises or borrowing money from across the world but at some point you know the people of this nation are going to wake up they're going to realize the pain and suffering that all this borrowing and all this propaganda war around the world has cost us and you know it will be the citizens of this country and the rest of the world for that matter that are going to suffer not the first time of course americans heard this and the first in address back in two thousand and nine he promised to not only revive america's economy but also to build a new foundation for lasting prosperity i'm with him in all the time again but is it really his fault is it all down to him that it hasn't actually worked since he came into his presidency no it's not it's no more his fault than it was george w. bush is now that it's the fault of government who does not serve the people it is the fault of government who serves special banking interests. built in two thousand and eight on this date back in two thousand and eight the united states sovereign debt our national debt was nine point four trillion dollars today we said it sixteen point five trillion in two thousand and eight it was eighty seven thousand

dollars per taxpayer now the burden for every taxpayer is one hundred forty seven thousand the unemployment rate at the end of the number of people who were unemployed was thirteen million in two thousand and eight twenty two million now the food stamp rolls twenty eight point eight million now it's forty eight point one million the the the notion of printing money and giving it to banks and forgiving their sins and promising the people of the country that it's going to grow us out of the depression you know the promise is turning out to be exactly what it is a bunch of bunk and i don't think that they can go much longer without recognizing the condition the economic and fiscal condition of this country they have to tell the american people at some point the game is over and you know that they are going to do it and when they do when they finally does run its course it will be the people who realize the suffering it's said that foreign policy won't be a major focus but of course you can't ignore what's going on in north korea all to americans fifa love this threat because north korea is saying they do actually want to develop a bomb the can be aimed at the u.s.

so what do you think is going to say about that today. well i think you know appeal and yang did did their job in making sure that this discussion or this topic was brought up tonight i don't think the president can avoid it you know they tested a nuclear weapon yesterday you know and i think he'll certainly address it in stoke the fear of the evil empire of north korea but you know mark my words this will get spun into an anti iran moment for this president you know we have to make sure that we don't let iran achieve a nuclear weapon because you know we can't have these rogue states out there doing it so i think it's going to be addressed and of course it will be sold to the people of this nation is one more reason that we have to continue our military prowess we have to continue building out the military and stoking the coffers of the military industrial complex and build out of the security state to you'll be watching it many americans we watching this what will a bomb a really address issues the american people want to hand what we have some sort of fighting tool for a problem setting a challenge to his opponents to his enemies what sort of speech will we get over

just the usual rhetoric the usual rhetoric no doubt about it look it is my firm contention that there is no difference between barack obama and george w. bush i do believe they serve the same master special financial interest and when the cameras are on he'll say either one of them will say whatever they need to say to stoke their base but behind closed doors it's mission as usual you know we're still going to see the build out of security as they were get still going to see drones being used to surveil citizens we're still going to have a white house that quote a few days ago said that it's a not only legal it's ethical and wise to kill u.s. citizens if they're suspected of being a terrorist suspect so regardless of whatever suit they wear the blue or the red suit the left or the right they do the exact same bidding of financial special interest and the people are just placated to want to make news telegraph thank you very much indeed for joining us life aronofsky good to try though. well you can check out our website for more international news stories here's

welcome to the kaiser report i'm max kaiser and i'm here to tell you that we are living in a post industrial cargo cult what's a cargo cult you ask according to wikipedia a cargo cult is a religious practice that has appeared in many traditional pre-industrial tribal societies in the wake of interaction with technologically advanced cultures the cults focus on of chaining of the material wealth i.e. the cargo of the advanced culture through magic and religious rituals and practices kind of like pressing control pray. for it today we are all post industrial cargo in a cult called keynesianism the ritual act of printing money itself we are told by our cult leaders like jim jones and his kool-aid i mean ben bernanke and his printing will lead to a future.
